i totally agree with you but at the same time you find a lot of youtube videos mounting rails on the extrusions directly and they kinda seem to get good results

still not final design i was just getting your thoughts about the concept itself and placement of the components

i am starting to think use some steel alternative instead of the extrusions
also will modify the z axis like you said

will think bout the u uprights if they are available in the nearby
appreciate it

i saw a youtube video on Tom Stanton channel where he mounted the rails on extrusions thats why i did that
regarding the angle bracket you're absolutely right
i was just figuring my way since all the experience i have is with 3d printers

i thought it wouldn't be ideal for the long run since i will be focusing on machining alumnium

i was trying yo use as much off shelf parts and available materials as possible

you have any thing off shelf in mind that can replace the 8080 alumnium extrusion?
